The government still holds strong ownership in the largest norwegian banks (DNB for one) after the last financial crash. These banks are willing to stump up money but in reality its state aid by another name. Governments have usually no problem doling out easy gotten taxpayers money because its relatively easy to collect some more. Problem is finding somebody else that is willing to stump up a substantial amount of their own hard earned cash for another flying folly. To show that there are also norwegian private investors with enough wherewithals to amass their own fortune, that believes money can be made by investing in the airline Norwegian.
